Well…if you read the news at all, you know that for some reason, the New York Times is becoming the fox news of print journalism…favoring the right wing assholes in both the headlines and in many of the stories they print…I mean, on yesterdays front page, the headline top of the fold read “Momentous scene in Miami as trump pleads not guilty” …did they think he was going to plead guilty? I wonder what made it momentous? There were maybe 100 trump supporters so that couldn’t be it…it was just another criminal surrendering to the authorities to be formally arraigned…nothing momentous about that….and the times showed a photo with trump coming down the stairs of his tacky plane…making it look somewhat dignified which the idiot isn’t…so I guess what I’m saying is that the times is trying to normalize the biggest criminal in the history of the country just to keep having easy stories to write…and damaging the country as they do…geez…

What the hell is wrong with the NYT?
Well…after this week and reading about the attacks on trans people by the NYT, my question is “what the hell is wrong with the NYT?” All week, they have been trying to justify their support of JK Rowling who wrote the Harry Potter books and her well known transphobia…and it has gotten so bad that hundreds of well known people have written letters to the Times asking what the hell? Who is calling the shots at the times who supports attacking an already besieged minority? All across the country, repubs are passing laws actually trying to outlaw trans people’s just living…outlawing the medical care that they need to survive and why is the Times piling on to that bullshit? Look, this same playbook was used to attack gay and lesbian people in the 60′s and 70′s but no one remembers history anymore so they are doomed to repeat it…what benefit do these attacks have for the Times? They’re never going to get the right wing assholes to subscribe to the paper so why attack just like the asshole repubs? I just don’t get it…a once objective paper now seems populated by fox news wannabes who just want to spread their hate…it’s a long way for the Times to fall…geez…
Unions…
Well…with the people of the New York Times on strike today, I think it’s a good time to think about unions and the good they’ve done in this country and around the world. Look, if the owners of companies would treat workers with the respect and fairness they deserve, there wouldn’t be a need for unions…but as you know, most of the people running companies spend their time trying to figure out how to hoard the fruits of labor for themselves and have been very successful at it…after all, ceo compensations is now over 300 times what the average worker makes when it used to be closer to 50 and companies have never been more profitable…the modern weekend is a result of union bargaining as is the 40 hour work week and when you look at it, unions built the middle class here and around the world….and I’m happy that there is a resurgence of unionization here in the US after both the government and the rich and powerful have spent decades attacking them and buying laws that made it harder and harder for people to band together to try to level the playing field….but there is still work to be done and I’m glad someone is doing it….so, don’t read the Times anytime soon to support the people there…they can use the help….
The NYT goes off the rails…again…
Well..in what is becoming a sickening occurrence, the New York Times has gone off the rails again today with the worst sort of bothsiderism that I have ever seen…and a complete, stupid misinterpretation of the first amendment. As the right wing continues to whine that people are pushing back on their lies and conspiracy theories and won’t listen to them spew that nonsense, the Times is on it, first with a right wing college student who was given the editorial page to whine that no one listens to her spout her bullshit and calls it “cancelling” her rights under the first amendment, and today, the editorial page stays on that theme saying that the biggest danger to our first amendment rights is the left not listening and calling bullshit on these right wing assholes. Now, I’ve read the first amendment, and there is not one damn thing in there that says you have a constitutional right to be listened to as you lie your ass off and spout racist, misogynist bullshit…remember folks, the first amendment only applies to the government regulating speech…if I don’t want to hear someone spouting that the idiot trump was the bestest president in the history of the universe, I don’t have to give you a forum to continue to say it…or an ear to listen to it and the snowflakes on the right wing just don’t understand why no one wants to hear their crap other than other trump cult members….and it IS my right to call a right wing racist asshole a right wing racist asshole and dismiss them without letting them pollute my ears with their bullshit…back when I was young, none of the crap the repubs are pushing daily was accepted and the party policed that nonsense…could you imagine anyone taking Khrushev’s side 50 years ago? Or being on Russian tv on a loop to support a war that the rest of the world is against? This is just another incidence where the right wing editors of the NYT are doing everything in their power to normalize how far to the fascist side the repubs have gone over the past 30 years….we all need to call them out and make sure there is a price to pay for all of the lies the repubs continue to spout…and that is not protected by the first amendment…geez…
I’m beginning to hate the NYT…
Well…damn, I’m not sure who is running the New York times but there has been so much bullshit bothsiderism that it is squandering the hundred plus years of great journalism that made it the “paper of record”….throughout the Hillary Clinton e-mail non scandal, they had breathless coverage of the nothing that it was every damn day and they were responsible for getting the idiot trump elected with all of that crap…and today, they had a huge article about how badly we are doing controlling the covid virus with more cases and deaths than any other country….and, because they are kissing the right wings ass constantly, they tried to cover up the reason for our poor performance…every damn report from the CDC, the NIH, and every other study highlights one thing, the vaccination plateau we have reached where almost every dem is vaccinated and boosted by only 52% OF repubs are…and they act like the reason for that just can’t be figured out and they leave it at that…and that is the problem..it CAN be figured out and yet they just don’t want to say it…it is fox news and the daily loads of misinformation that come from it and the whole right wing ecosystem that are actively trying to keep the pandemic going to hurt Joe Biden…it’s as simple as that…the repubs are willing to kill for political gain and that is the cynical calculation they are making every day…to sacrifice their own voters for the next election…why can’t the NYT write that? Because the owners are also making a cynical calculation to keep in the good graces of right wing billionaires who infest this country…and let’s put it bluntly, the NYT has been sliding to the right for decades now and no one left there has any journalistic integrity anymore..the truth is the truth and it doesn’t need to be analyzed or put in context or anything else…just frickin print the truth…that trump tried to overthrow the government or that fox news is responsible for the anti vaccine bullshit that is pushed on every one of it’s shows…geez….
Trump truly is deranged…
Well….I know I’ve harped on this a bit over the past couple of years but, with the new New York Times interview that was printed yesterday, there just isn’t any question that the idiot is truly deranged. The interview touched on everything that trump hates, and was a tour de force of anger, delusion, victimhood, mangled history, and a clear proof that he knows nothing about healthcare or insurance. I mean, he actually thinks that people pay 12 dollars a year for insurance…and then when you’re 70 you “get a really good plan”…yep, this is actually what he said….just draw droppingly ignorant….but that’s not the whole of the interview…his comments on Sessions, Comey, and Mueller sounded like that of a petulant child who had been told it was bedtime and was stamping his feet….then there were the threats to Mueller to stay away from his finances or he would fire him….no matter that Mueller doesn’t work for him and for the fact that Mueller is already well into trump’s money laundering and, no matter what happens, it will come out that trump has been the pawn of the Russians for years….I think you should go read the article at the Times….it will confirm what I have been saying for quite a while now….trump is truly deranged…impeach…
